The largo military expenditures for which

In this point Of view the British advocates
Of universal peace might have found better

questions require consideration. No treaty
establishing arbitration should be lightly en-

ticular moment to resort to war;
We have In existence general stipu-

We look upon the bill Senator STEWART
intends to introduce into Congress- author
izing the expenditure OF 100000 600 to estab-
llsh National Normal School at Washing
ton, as a measure which proposes an out
rageous perversion of the money OF the
people. There Is no warrant in the Constitu-
ton for the establishment OF such school.
there is no reason for its existence, and II 1t
were founded. ltwould be of no sort Of adv an
tage to anybody, except those who were In
terested In tho job which ii Ia designed to
promote.
Normal schools. or schools for the training
Of teachers. are already established In the
States, to which, as one OF their proper aud
inalienable functions, is committed tho edu-
cation Of their young, under such school
system as they shall devise. The Federal
Government has nothing whatever TO do
with the matter. Its only schools arc schools
for the training Of army and navy officers.
